GEORGE F. DICKSON, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CONFECTIONERS AND BAKERS SUPPLY CO., OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION 0F ILLINOIS.

CANDY-COOLER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonon F. Dickson, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Candy-Coolers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of candy coolers in which a circulation of a liquid cooling medium is effected through a .hollow slab or table top, and has for its object to provide a simple and efficient struc tural formation and combination of parts whereby an even and uniform circulation of the liquid cooling medium is attained, and an even and uniform cooling of the material effected, all as will hereinafter more fully appeal'.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1, is a side elevation partly in section. Fig. 2, is a horizontal section on line www, F ig. 1. Fig. 3, is a similar view on line mcc, Fig. l.

Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts in the different views.

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents a hollow rectangular table top or slab, which in the present construction comprises a rectangular pan shaped underportion 2, formed with out turned attaching flanges 3 on its upper margin, and a rectangular plate shaped upper portion 4, secured to the aforesaid attaching flanges 3, in any usual and suitable manner.

are recesses formed in the underside of the plate portion 4, near the corners thereof and adapted to receive the upper and open ends of the circulating pipes hereinafter described.

6 is a valved inlet pipe connected centrally to the bottomwveb of the aforesaid underportion 2, for the introduction of liquid cooling medium.

7 are a series of corner posts or legs by which the hollow table top or slab 1 is supported in a horizontal position.

S are attaching flanges on the upper ends of the posts 7 for convenient attachment to thedunderside of the table top or slab aforesai Specification of Letters Patent.

serial No. 517,031.

9 are tubular bores formed in the upper portions of the aforesaid posts, and having tubular extensions preferably formed by sections 1() of pipe, which extend upwardly into the cavity of the hollow top or slab l and project into the aforesaid recesses 5 of the top plate 4, as shown. The construction being such that the cooling fluid in its outward flow will pass along the uinlersurface of the plate il, into the recesses 5 and thence into the pipe section 10, in a very even and uniform manner, and with a corresponding even and uniform cooling action upon the whole of the top plate 4.

l1 are sections of pipe extending between the tubular bores 9 of the posts 7, and connecting said bores together.

l2 is a coupling head connected to one section of pipe l1 and adapted in turn for connection to a suitable drain pipe.

Having thus fully described my said i11- vention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. A cooling slab comprising a pan shaped under portion having an out turned marginal flange at top, and a rectangular'plate shaped upper portion secured to the aforesaid flange and provided with a series of recesses in its under side adjacent to its corners, a centrally arranged inlet pipe. and a series of outlet pipes connected to the corners of the slab and extending up into the aforesaid recesses, substantially as set forth.

2. A cooling slab comprising a pan shaped under portion having an out turned marginal flange at top, and a rectangular plate shaped upper portion secured to the aforesaid flange, a centrally arranged inlet pipe, a series of corner posts supporting said slab in a horizontal position and having tubular upper portions connecting with the interior of the slab and outlet necks on said posts for connection with outlet pipes, substantially as set forth.

3. A cooling slab comprising a pan shaped under portion having an out turned inarginal flange at top, and a` rectangular plate a horizontal position and havingtubular upper portions, a series of pipe sections Connected to said tubular portions and extending up into the aforesaid recesses, and a series of outlet pipe sections connected to the tubular portions aforesaid, substantially as setforth.
